EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the interior of the former abbey church, Abbatiale Saint-Volusien de Foix, in Occitanie, France. The focus is on the exquisite choir seating dating back to around 1670, originally from the Saint-Sernin church in Toulouse. The image transports us to a bygone era, immersing us in the rich history and artistic grandeur of this sacred space. The intricate woodwork of the choir seating stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and skill of French artisans from the 17th century. Every detail is meticulously captured by photographer Paul Maeyaert, allowing us to appreciate not only the beauty but also the significance of this piece of furniture within its architectural context. The warm hues and textures evoke a sense of reverence and tranquility that one can imagine being felt within these walls. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are reminded of how art has always played an integral role in religious spaces. Sculptures adorn every corner, adding depth and character to this already awe-inspiring scene. Amongst them are grotesque figures that add an element of whimsy amidst their solemn surroundings. Through Maeyaert's lens, we are transported into this intimate room interior where centuries-old timbers whisper stories from generations past. This artwork serves as a reminder that even though time may pass and buildings may change their purpose or location, their historical value remains intact. In capturing such moments frozen in time through his lens, Maeyaert invites us to appreciate not only individual works of art but also their connection with broader cultural heritage – reminding us that fine art transcends boundaries and speaks directly to our shared humanity.
